Cedar Park Church of Christ

A chance encounter in Bangalore India. That’s how the story of Cedar Park Church of Christ took an unexpected turn. This unassuming church in Austin Texas has a global reach.

The stranger was a preacher visiting that very church. Bryan was amazed. He shared his experience with his home church in Texas. Cedar Park Church of Christ was moved by Bryan’s story. They invited the Indian preacher Billy to visit. Billy’s grandfather had a profound impact. He was a Baptist seminary principal. He later embraced a simpler faith. He sold his possessions to start a ministry. He built a preacher training facility. He also built a church next door. His legacy continues through his grandson Billy. Billy’s father baptized 300 lepers. He cared for children affected by leprosy. He also rescued orphans from the mafia. Billy’s family has a children’s home. Fifty-eight children live there. They have a daily routine. They wake at 5 am for devotion. They do chores and have breakfast. Older children attend school. They study the Bible. They memorize scripture.
